“They typically take their time (that’s the nice way of putting it) when testing devices prior to launch and often end up selling phones later than everyone else (Nexus 6, anyone?),” he explains. “If they are already telling you to prepare wallets for April 1, then they just may be able to hit that April 10 date. Good job, Verizon.”

Now that Verizon has announced its S6 and S6 edge preorder dates, we imagine AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile won’t be too far behind. In our hands-on previews for both devices, we found that Samsung had really put a lot of effort into making its best Android phones ever and we particularly liked the S6 edge’s dual side displays that marked a huge advance from the original Note Edge’s awkward-looking display.
